Qing Jialu

The yamen servant mercilessly pressed Du Huan to the ground, and the two pressed his shoulders and feet to hold him firmly.

Afterwards, two more guards swung the water and fire sticks in their hands. The so-called water and fire sticks are special killing sticks for yamen.This stick is about as long as the eyebrows, black on the top and red on the bottom, round on the top and slightly flat on the bottom.The stick was shiny and had a chilling sheen.

"Fight!" The hall official gave an order, and all the yamen servants took the order.

There was only a "bang", and the water and fire stick hit Du Huan's buttocks, and Du Huan couldn't help crying out.He is the son of a wealthy businessman. He stretched out his hands to eat and opened his mouth from his small clothes. His family pampered him, and he had never been beaten with a board.He didn't even stand the ruler of the master in the school.

But the yamen servants like to torture noble sons like Du Huan the most. After hearing Du Huan's wailing, they beat him harder.

In less than ten sticks, Du Huan was beaten with snot and tears, and shouted: "Ah! Don't hit me, don't hit me anymore."

The interrogating officer waved his hand to signal the yamen servant to stop the execution, and then asked Du Huan, "Have you figured it out now? Are you willing to confess?"

Du Huan slowed down on the ground, raised his eyes to look at the official, and said intermittently: "Student...student, you are wronged!"

"Continue." The officer ordered with a blank expression.

After an interrogation, the flesh of Du Huan's buttocks was beaten and bled, and the hem of his robe was soaked in blood. The bloody man was carried into the cell by the government officials.He lay dying on the straw couch in the cell, feeling that he would not survive today.

At this moment, someone came over again and said, "Your maidservant has come to see you."

"Handmaiden?" Du Huan thought for a while, the people who went to Beijing with him were all servants, where did the maidservant come from?

But before Du Huan could react, a young and petite woman ran over crying, looking at Du Huan through the railing and weeping.

"Young Master! Young Master! You have suffered!" The woman pretended to be realistic, with a worried expression on her face, and her crying was very sad.

Du Huan was a little confused, who is this woman, do I know her?

"They treat you like this, young master, how can you endure such pain." The woman was about to cry as she spoke, "My young master, this servant brought you a change of clothes and some medicine."

Du Huan understood, followed by acting and said: "Baoyue, you are here, you are the best."

"Brother yamen servant, can you open the door and allow me to dispense the medicine for you."

"Oh..." The yamen servant looked at the woman wretchedly, and then at Du Huan, "You are so lucky."

Du Huan was tongue-tied, he was only 22 this year, and he hadn't married a wife or taken concubines yet.His parents also wanted him to focus on his studies, so they didn't even find him a maid from the connecting room.

But now, the yamen servant is obviously thinking wrongly.But that woman obviously deliberately made the yamen servant think wrong.

"Hurry up." The yamen servant didn't doubt him, finally unlocked the lock and let the woman in.

After the yamen servant left, Du Huan asked, "Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. My son, it's very simple to get rid of the crime, just deny it to death."

"Could it be..." Du Huan took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "Is he really... old Shen Ge?"

"No." The woman stared into Du Huan's eyes and said word by word, "He, no, yes!"

Du Huan was stunned for a moment, and finally said suddenly: "I understand, thank you girl."

The woman glanced at the blood-stained trousers, and Du Huan must have been seriously injured. She couldn't help but ask, "Why did the Metropolitan Procuratorate execute punishment at will?"

"I...I'm not a good candidate now, they have removed my reputation." When Du Huan talked about this matter, not only his body hurt, but his heart hurt even more.

"Hey, these medicines are all high-grade, and they are useful for your trauma." The woman sighed, and blushed a little when she saw that his butt was hurt, "You... just wipe it yourself."

"Thank you, miss, thank you, your master." Du Huan also blushed, seeing the woman about to leave, he suddenly asked, "Wait, miss."

"What else is there?" the woman asked back.

"Dare to ask... dare to ask the girl's name." Du Huan lowered his head and stammered.

The woman smiled slightly, "Hibiscus."

After Mu Jin came out of the prison and returned to Xiyuan, she stood in front of the emperor and reported everything.

"Mr. Du was seriously injured, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate gave him severe punishment." Mu Jin said truthfully.

Xiao Yi frowned, "He is a judge, how could he execute the punishment at will?"

"I heard from Mr. Du that I have been deprived of my fame, and I am no longer a Juren."

"When did the Metropolitan Procuratorate have the power to arbitrarily revoke the name of a son?" Xiao Yi became even more angry. He said to Chen Gonggong who was beside him, "Send a famous imperial physician to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to treat Du Huan's injuries."

The officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate used torture without authorization, and tortured a frail scholar, how can there be any fairness and justice?The emperor sent the imperial doctor to slap the Metropolitan Procuratorate severely in the face.

"The old slave takes the order." Eunuch Chen said, and took the order and left.

Xiao Yi looked at Mu Jin again, "This time the errand was done well."

Hibiscus's task this time is not difficult, but easy to say.The hard part is that it's not easy to get in, but it's easy after seeing Du Huan.Just tell Du Huan one thing, let him beat him to death and refuse to admit that he knew Shen Jia, the matter can be settled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After being praised, Mu Jin was a little happy for a while, and then asked, "Why doesn't Your Majesty let my sister go?"

"She is 25, how can she act like an ignorant little maid. You are sixteen, just right."

What Xiao Yi wanted was Mu Jin's innocence, boldness and straightforwardness.After all, how dare a timid or cautious girl run to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, crying and clamoring to see her young master?

After the emperor sent an imperial physician to treat Du Huan, the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate no longer dared to torture Du Huan at will.They could only ask Du Huan over and over again, but Du Huan got advice from Mu Jin and firmly denied that he knew Shen Ge.The Metropolitan Procuratorate had nothing to do with him, and the case dragged on until February.

However, the situation did not improve, and the people behind the scenes attacked again, instructing the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to go up and ask the emperor to order Shen Jia to be interrogated.

Since Du Huan couldn't be pried open, the Metropolitan Procuratorate planned to start with Shen Jia.

Seeing that they wanted to arrest and interrogate dignified cabinet ministers on trumped-up charges, Xiao Yi became furious.He directly asked the supervisor of ceremonies to approve the red refusal, and asked the Metropolitan Procuratorate to release Du Huan as soon as possible.

The officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate saw that it was not the emperor's imperial pen, and they were even more convinced that His Majesty must have been controlled by rebellious officials and thieves.The behind-the-scenes master finally planned to give it a go, and led officials from the six ministries and five temples, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Imperial Academy, the Imperial College, and the Department of General Affairs, to gather outside Xiyuan and beg to see His Majesty on their knees.
